The Beautification of NYC Continues

With the popularity of the Highline and East River Waterfront, a few of the cities parks have gone unnoticed but that’s about to change.The group Architecture for Humanity has recently secured a grant to initiate an ideas competition for Coleman Oval Park, located under the Manhattan Bridge.

Now, with six New York City based architecture firms competing to develop and present ideas for a new Coleman Oval Park, the former graveyard site, which over the years has suffered a lot of neglect, is looking at a resurrection.

So far, at least one of the proposals has been revealed. HAO (Holm Architecture Office) has plans to turn the park into a multi-use skate park, complete with ramps that would then be easily converted into an outdoor movie or concert venue. The proposal also makes use of the bridge columns, turning them into works of art curated by local artists and organizations.

Hells yea because skateboarding is the only thing out there, don't forget about the bmx,scooter,inline skaters lets just fill the skatepark up with a bunch of skateboarder images, while we at it can we only put white skateboarders in the picture. oh wait …

exactly this is why they need to build a park so everyone can skate i live literally across the street from this park and its sad how its meant for skateboarding everything is soo small and rusty. ITS TIME TO MAKE PARKS FOR ALL SPORTS!!. (Especially Inline Skating!)

snowlerbladers,inline skating, scooters and bicycles should all be shipped to staten island where they belong…if u cant skate, dont…id rather have a bad skateboarder than a mediocre biker any day…its called a skate park for a reason…
